When it comes to the most stylish women over 30, you’ll notice a marked level of confidence in the way they dress—they’re almost always pristine with a comfortable poise. But how? They’ve learned the wardrobe lessons, perhaps suffered a few woes as the majority of women do in their 20s—not to say they regret adventurous ensembles or loads of fun fashion embraced throughout the prior decade. But by 30, they’ve settled into an aesthetic with the know-how of a pro. They have identified the items that don’t work and made smart swaps for the pieces that do. So what items do they no longer stand by? Here, we break down a few basics. Thirty never looked chicer.
What To Ditch By 30
You know those T-shirts that start to feel icky after a few washes—heck, they may even be falling apart? Yep, ditch 'em. Smart gals go for well-made tees that can stand up to repeat wears. They may cost a bit more, but the improved quality ensures they'll last. Plus, they're versatile enough to don with everything from jeans to suiting.

From blazers to shirts to dresses, a sharp silhouette can make all the difference.

But with proper care, they'll last forever.

One thing is for certain: You will never spot a stylishly savvy woman in shoes she's not comfortable in. This doesn't mean heels are no longer part of the equation—pumps, block heels and loafers in quality materials like Italian leather and suede are tip-top and, yes, last a lifetime with proper care. Your shoe-repair guy is your friend.
